We're hiring! We're looking for news reporters around the world to join the Neowin team
by Steven Parker

The news never ends.

Keeping our readers informed and updated on the constant stream of announcements, leaks, rumors and insights that pour in from around the world is a non-stop job. With millions of readers worldwide, we know just how important it is to help them stay up to speed with the relentless pace of change and developments in technology.

That’s why we’re expanding our team of news reporters. We’re looking for eager, enthusiastic people to join us part-time from around the world as we head into 2017.

Our requirements

We would love to hear from applicants with experience of covering technology news, but previous experience isn’t necessary to apply. Enthusiasm, a positive attitude, and a desire to constantly improve and grow professionally – applicants with these traits are just as important to us as those with years of reporting experience.

Many of our reporters over the years have had no previous experience, but that hasn’t stopped them from doing a great job; some very well-known faces in the tech journalism community made their names at Neowin with little or no experience at first. We offered them a strong foundation upon which to build their careers.

Of course, even without reporting experience, we demand that applicants have plenty of knowledge about technology. Our coverage includes Microsoft, Apple, Google, Linux, gaming, software, devices, accessories, and so much more, along with analysis and insights into what’s happening in the tech industry.

We require that applicants be proficient in English, but that doesn’t mean English has to be your first language. We will accept applications from anyone aged 18 or over, from anywhere in the world, and we warmly invite people from all backgrounds to apply. Neowin has a zero-discrimination hiring policy; whatever your ethnicity, gender identity, or sexuality, and whether you prefer Linux over Windows, or Xbox over PlayStation, what matters most to us is your passion for technology, your drive to do the job and constantly improve, and your ability to impartially report and discuss what’s happening in the tech world.

  • Be active: We require no less than four articles a week, but the more, the better. We pay our writers per original article based on unique hits. This won't replace your full time job, but it is a great way to earn some extra cash, while gaining valuable experience in reporting with one of the most established brands in tech news.
  • Be original: We expect all articles to be originally written, we have strict guidelines for approvals. We understand no-one is perfect, but we try to maintain high standards in order for a post to be approved on the main page.
  • Be awesome: You need to be able to bite your tongue when negative criticism occurs. It happens from time to time, but remember you will represent Neowin on and off the site.
  • Be there: Although not mandatory, living near a convention/tech hotspot such as London, Las Vegas, Seattle, New York, or Tokyo is a plus.
We don't assign or require people to write only on specific areas unlike some other news sites, so our reporters can write on a variety of different topics.

We look forward to hearing from you, and if you’ve got what it takes, we hope to be able to welcome you to the Neowin team soon :-)

Titles should accurately represent the article. (ie: no clickbait)

Looking at the criteria of how they get paid, then no wonder why some titles are misleading due to the unfairness of how they get paid.

Actually, compared to most mainstream tech news sites, neowin has always been subtle. You don't see titles like, you won't believe what samsung did to avoid lawsuites over the note 7. Or, here are the five games MS is giving away this month. The titles in this site mostly non click bate

This is one of my blog articles: http://reviews.mysteryblock.co...ical-keyboard-under-50/

I write for them as a part-time job thing (I don't get paid), but does that count as experience? Just looking for more experience under my belt. Thanks for this opportunity!

Give it a shot! default_smile.png
